It (the sexual offense) happened before he even signed a LOI for LSU. And yes, a misdemeanor sexual offense and/or battery charge can't automatically bar you from a LSU football scholarship. Or an academic scholarship, for that matter. |

That actually makes LSU look even worse. (Edit: looking into it, I guess he got the blowjob from the child, then committed to LSU, THEN he was arrested/charged. So LSU didn't necessarily know about it at the time he signed on. Though they did obviously decide to keep him on. But it doesn't seem like THAT decision was as controversial as the one to keep him on after punching the guy and laughing about it. I think the latter isn't quite as bad at the former. I can't believe a major college football program like that has a guy with a child sex conviction on the roster.) Last edited by molson : 08-06-2013 at 02:22 PM. |

More coming out. The third one is the most potentially damning.

Vegas dropped the A&M win total from 9.5 to 7. He's fucked.

Poor Johnny "Fucking" Football.
I think these rules are pretty silly, but they are the rules.

Looks like A&M odds are being pulled off the board in Vegas. They dropped from 9.5 to 7 today and now they're not taking bets. |

A&M has retained the law firm that Auburn used during the Cam Newton saga.
Texas A&M retains law firm for Johnny Manziel matter

"ESPN was offered a chance to purchase the two videos, but declined. Reporter Joe Schad viewed the videos and reported on what he saw. The videos were recorded without the redshirt sophomore's knowledge, according to the broker.
The broker also says he will not cooperate with an NCAA investigation ESPN first reported on Sunday, one that threatens Manziel's eligibility if it is proven he took money for autographs, a violation of the association's rules." So the broker showed ESPN the videos, but wanted money to actually hand them over. ESPN didn't pay up, and just reported on the content of the videos they saw instead (ha, sucker). But the guy says he's not going to talk to the NCAA. Unless presumably, they're willing to pay him. Edit: I think they're going to need more than an "autograph broker" (who won't talk to them anyway) before they do anything. Last edited by molson : 08-06-2013 at 06:35 PM. |

Unless these videos surface publicly, and actually involve Manziel taking money or explicitly asking for it, I don't see how he gets suspended more than 2 games.
(And I can add that on to the Jeremy Hill story - he wouldn't be the poster boy for people getting in to bar fights and Gregg Doyel wouldn't be writing about him unless that video went public.) |

Sure there is. An A&M booster offers more money than TMZ. But more importantly, if it's just Manziel signing items and the asking for/exchange of money occurs off-camera I don't see the NCAA acting expediently or suspending him more than those first 2 games.

This is my favorite part of the whole saga. The rich parents thing has been the magic bullet that explains away all of the jet-setting offseason stories. They're such enablers that they wanted to get JFFMOM and JFFDAD license plates. If his parents are wealthy enough to finance his regiment of courtside seats, concert tickets, and rounds at Pebble Beach (and clearly have no issue with doing so), why would he even take the time to sign autographs for $10k when he could just ask for it? |

Even though he is incredibly famous and seems to come from a lot of money I am not sure that JFF 20-year old differs that much from a normal 20-year old. i.e. Who wouldn't love to have $10,000 party money on the side? |

I love how the NCAA is itself a shady autograph broker. Maybe they're the same one trying to bring down Manziel.

In one of the stories the broker or whoever was at or on their way to the title game. This is not even remotely an isolated incident.

Saw a post on another board I read where a guy said that he has a friend who is involved in this all the time. It always takes place in hotel rooms, they bring the kid in, he signs a bunch of stuff, he gets cash, and he leaves. Said he did it with Ingram and Richardson at Alabama, but also with many others. Guy wasn't bragging or doing so to make claims against players...but in a "no big deal, everyone does this" way. And as long as these kids aren't morons (hello Johnny), everything is fine and the game keeps going. |

I must have missed something. In this scenario, what did Manziel do differently than any of the other players? I thought this only came to light because a broker was shopping tape of it?

Johnny signed 300+ for 4 different brokers.
It happens at every school, hell I can give you the names of the signature hounds at Clemson and SCar....the difference is Johnny got greedy and played with several different guys and told each he was exclusive to them, hence devaluing their investment. I've also been told that, Johnny Football allegedly told one sleaze ball he wanted new "blades" on his SUV that cost $6,0000 and Dad said he was stupid...

Pitt lost its 13th player since the start of spring drills. Pitt people saying more are expected to leave. Chryst has supposedly inherited a mess of a locker room and he's trying to clean up the culture there. With the way he's recruiting it could be rough the next couple of years.

What I meant is that $10k evaporates pretty quickly when you're doing Johnny Football things. I just thought it was funny how the media is getting worked up over this original figure -- they need to give themselves room to get even more outraged when the inevitable investigation reveals that the $10,000 was just the tip of the iceberg |

This all shows stupidity on so many levels. Apparently he wanted new rims for his car and his Dad wouldn't buy them. Wonder what his plan was to tell his Dad when he showed up with the new rims.

It does answer the question why he would be asking for money when his parents already have it. Maybe he wants to spend it on things his parents don't want him to.

The Todd Thomas thing is really odd...came out of nowhere. Chryst must have some sort of guarantee that he's good for 4-5 years or something. Otherwise, sure, cleaning house and doing it "your way" is nice, but after a couple 2-9 seasons, there won't be a house to clean any longer.

He also has the right to break rules or be above them and expect no consequences? Just like with professional sports, big-time college sports live by a different set of rules because the rewards are so great. The comparisons to normal 20-yr olds (at least those that break rules and laws) is silly. |

While my thinking on compensating players has changed over the years, this guy took a scholarship knowing what the current rules are. If they were too restrictive then he should do something other than play college football. If it's found that he broke those rules then he should be punished accordingly.
